IMPROVEMENT IN OIL-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 197.725, dated December4, 1877 application iiled May 17, 1877.

To all whom 'it may concern.' v

Be it known that I, LEVI S. ENOS, of Almond, in the county of Alleganyand in the State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Oil-Stoves; and do hereby declare that the following` isa full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a coaloilstove, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable othersl skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in whichFigure lis a side elevation of my coaLoil stove, and Fig. 2 is a centralvertical section of the lower part thereof.

A represents the oil-reservoir, made in circular form and taperingupward, and provided with a series of elongated wick-tubes, B, havingthe usual wick-raising devices ay a.

On top of the oil-reservoirA is a iiaring pan, (l, for containing water.and the upper edge of this pan is, bya cylindrical shell, E,

connected with the bottom edge of the oil-reservoir A, forming awater-chamber, D, surrounding the reservoir A.

In the sides of the pan C is a series of perforations, d d,communicating with the cham'- ber D for the passage of the water.

The pan C is further connected with the chamber D by means of tubes b bpassing from the bottom of the pan downward through the oil-reservoir,and opening through the sides thereof into the chamber D. Any desirednumber of these curved tubes maybe used as desired.

By the water thus circulating through the oil chamber or reservoir, inaddition'to the body of water standing around and on top of theoil-reservoir, the oil is kept perfectly cool and no danger ofgenerating any gas that might explode. l

h h are the rods supporting the chimney J,

which is constructed substantially in the Inanner described in myLetters PatentNo. 184,200,

dated November 7, 1876.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an oil-stove, the combination of a water-pan, O, on top of thereservoir, and a water-chamber, D, surrounding the same, the pan andchamber being connected by passages d, substantially as herein setforth.

2. In an oil-stove, water tubes b passing through the oil-reservoir,substantially as herein set forth. v

3. The combination, with the oil-reservoir A, of the top pan C, thesurrounding chamber D, passages d, and tubes b, substantially as and forthe purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim theforegoing I have hereunto set my hand this2d day of May, 1877.

LEVI S. ENOS.
